Pet care experience
Hi! We are Dakota and Nats. We are 24 & 25 year old couple currently living at home. We adore dogs and we have both had dogs all our lives. We have cared for and owned both large and small dog breeds. Dakota has experience breeds such as Belgium shepherds, American Akita, Rottweilers, Mastiffs, Boxers and Great Danes, Doberman and smaller breeds such as Bichon Frise, Jack Russel, Maltese, cocker and springer spaniel. Nats has experience with dog breeds such as beagles, Staffordshire Bull terriers and Huskys, Labradors.... The list goes on! We live in a prime area with a dog park directly opposite our house and plenty of larger parks at walking distance. We have no restrictions on timings as Dakota works from home majority of the time however Nats permanently works from home. We are both very knowledgeable on dog behaviour and we appreciate that all owners have different rules within the home. We are adaptable and will ensure that your dog follows the same rules with us as they do at home...We are a home from home! Our home is large with plenty of space for your dog to explore and keep busy. We very much look forward to meeting you and your dogs! Nats works permanently from home and Dakota works from home in between meeting clients. We both work 9-5 Monday to Friday so we will have plenty of time to care for and give your dog play time, toilet breaks and cuddles! We have a large home with plenty of space plus a private enclosed garden. We also have access to an enclosed, safe dog park directly opposite the house, which is perfect for puppies or dogs with inconsistent recall that are still learning :)
Reviews
Ruby absolutely loved her stay with Nat and Dakota, as of she had known them forever. Nat and Dakota have been brilliant and Ruby is looking fwd to stay with them again
Could not recommend Dakota and Natalie enough. We are surprised the dogs even wanted to come home with us after staying with them!!! Communication was fast and effective from the beginning of the booking right up until we collected the dogs. We had instant responses, regular updates via photo and text, and as much routine kept as possible for both our girls. Dakota and Nats made us feel at ease throughout and we would not hesitate to leave them in their care in the future. They went above and beyond and really spoilt our pups with walks and treats. We can’t thank you enough, and I’m sure both Luna and Phoebe can’t wait to spend more time in your care in the future ❤️
Found Dakota and Nats not so long ago on Rover and reached out for day care. Diesel is nervous when meeting new people so we arranged a meeting prior to the stay which was very helpful and reassuring for us as it was going to be the first time we left him with anyone outside of the family unit. I was messaging Nats throughout the stay just to keep updated and received a few pics and videos of my boy! I will definitely be booking again!
Dakota and Nats looked after our French Bulldog Coco for 12 days. It was a proper holiday for Coco. They took great care of her, they kept us updated with daily pictures and videos and we could tell Coco was happy and safe, in short, she had a great time with then. Both Dakota and Nats were super friendly and accommodating, flexible pick up and drop off times and very quick responding to our messages. We recommend them 100%. We have tried multiple sitters over the years and they are among the best we’ve used. We’ll definitely repeat in the future.
